Abstract
Description
本発明は、複数の樹脂材を組み立てる際に用いられる樹脂材の溶着方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a resin material welding method used when assembling a plurality of resin materials.
従来より、複数の樹脂材を組み立てるにあたって、レーザ光を用いた溶着方法が採用されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。図5(a)に二つの樹脂材1、2をレーザ光により溶着する方法の一例を示す。この場合、一方の樹脂材1はレーザ光Lを比較的吸収しやすい高吸収率の樹脂材で形成されるものであって、他方の樹脂材2はレーザ光Lを比較的透過しやすい高透過率の樹脂材で形成されている。
Conventionally, in assembling a plurality of resin materials, a welding method using laser light has been employed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). FIG. 5A shows an example of a method of welding two
そして、まず、二つの樹脂材1、2を重ね合わせて配置する。次に、図5(b)に示すように、樹脂材1、2の接合面にレーザー照射装置LMからレーザ光Lを照射する。このレーザ光Lは高透過率の樹脂材2を通過させて接合面に照射するようにする。これにより、接合面において高吸収率の樹脂材1がレーザ光Lを吸収して発熱し、この熱により接合面で樹脂材1、2を溶融させ、この後、図5(c)に示すように、溶融した樹脂を硬化又は固化することにより溶着部10を形成して樹脂材1、2を溶着することができる。また、二つの樹脂材1、2を重ね合わせた状態で押さえ治具などにより樹脂材1、2を加圧することにより、接合面を圧着しながら溶着することができる。
しかし、上記の従来例では、レーザ光による溶着の際に、樹脂の溶着部より煤が発生し、レーザ光を集光するレンズが汚れたり、各樹脂材1、2の厚みなどの成型精度等の成型状態により、レーザ光の透過率や吸収率が変化したりした場合に、接合面でのレーザ光の焦点がずれるなどのレーザ光の照射条件が部分的に不充分になることがあり、溶着性が不安定となるおそれがあった。
However, in the above conventional example, at the time of welding with the laser beam, wrinkles are generated from the welded portion of the resin, the lens for condensing the laser beam is soiled, the molding accuracy such as the thickness of each
本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、安定したレーザ光による溶着を行うことができる樹脂材の溶着方法を提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a resin material welding method capable of performing stable welding with laser light.
本発明の請求項1に係る樹脂材の溶着方法は、複数の樹脂材1、2のそれぞれにテーパー面3、4を形成し、テーパー面3、4同士を接合した後、その接合面にレーザ光Lを照射することにより樹脂材1、2を溶融して複数の樹脂材1、2をテーパー面3、4で溶着することを特徴とするものである。
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a resin material welding method in which
本発明の請求項2に係る樹脂材の溶着方法は、請求項1において、樹脂材1にテーパー面3を有する嵌合凸部5を形成し、他の樹脂材2にテーパー面4を有する嵌合凹部6を形成し、嵌合凸部5と嵌合凹部6とを嵌合することによって、嵌合凸部5と嵌合凹部6のテーパー面3、4同士を接合することを特徴とするものである。
The resin material welding method according to
本発明の請求項3に係る樹脂材の溶着方法は、請求項1又は2において、テーパー面3、4が円弧状であることを特徴とするものである。
The resin material welding method according to
請求項1の発明では、テーパー面3、4を接合してその接合面にレーザ光を照射して溶着するので、レーザ光Lを集光するレンズの汚れや樹脂材1、2の成型状態によりレーザ光Lの透過率や吸収率が変化しても、接合面のいずれかの部分でレーザ光の照射条件が満たされる可能性が高くなって溶着部を形成するためのポイントを確保することができ、不充分な溶着部分が少なくなって、安定したレーザ光による溶着を行うことができるものである。
In the first aspect of the invention, since the
請求項2の発明では、嵌合凸部5と嵌合凹部6との嵌合によりテーパー面3、4の位置決めを容易に行うことができ、樹脂材1、2の溶着が行いやすくなるものである。

以下、本発明を実施するための最良の形態を説明する。 Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
図1に、二つの樹脂材1、2を溶着する方法について例示する。
FIG. 1 illustrates a method for welding two
一方の樹脂材1は他方の樹脂材2よりも比較的レーザ光Lの透過率が低くて吸収率が高いものを用いることができ、これにより、溶着時に樹脂材1がレーザ光Lを十分に吸収して発熱することができるものである。このような樹脂材1は、例えば、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリオキシメチレン(POM)、ポリプロピレン(PP)、ポリスチレン(PS)、ポリカーボネート(PC)、ポリメタクリル酸メチル(PMMA)などの樹脂材料の成型品を用いることができる。
One
もう一方の樹脂材2は他方の樹脂材1よりも比較的レーザ光Lの吸収率が低くて透過率が高いものを用いることができ、レーザ光Lの透過率が30〜70%程度であることが好ましい。これにより、溶着時に樹脂材2がレーザ光Lを十分に透過して接合面に到達することができることができるものである。このような樹脂材2は上記と同様の樹脂材料の成型品を用いることができる。
As the
本発明では、樹脂材1、2の溶着する面がテーパー面(傾斜面)3、4として形成されている。図1(a)では、樹脂材1、2を上下に配置して溶着するものであるため、下側の樹脂材1の上面がテーパー面3として形成されており、上側の樹脂材2の下面がテーパー面4として形成されている。テーパー面3とテーパー面4は同じ傾斜角を有し、レーザ光Lの入射方向に対して0°よりも大きくて90°よりも小さい傾斜角にするのが好ましく、より好ましくは30〜60°である。また、テーパー面3とテーパー面4は同じ方向に向いて傾斜してればよい。尚、図1(a)のものでは樹脂材1、2は四角枠状に形成されているが、これに限定されるものではなく、各種の形状を採用することができる。
In the present invention, the surfaces on which the
そして、樹脂材1、2を溶着するにあたっては、次のようにして行う。まず、一方の樹脂材1の上に他方の樹脂材2を載置する。このとき、レーザ光Lの透過率の高い樹脂材2をレーザ光Lの吸収率の高い樹脂材1の上に重ね合わせて、テーパー面3とテーパー面4とを接合する。この場合、図1(b)に示すように、テーパー面3とテーパー面4とはほとんど隙間なく密着するか、隙間があいていても略平行に対向するものである。
Then, the
次に、テーパー面3とテーパー面4の接合面にレーザ光Lを照射する。このとき、レーザ光Lは、レーザ光Lの透過率の高い樹脂材2を通過させてテーパー面3とテーパー面4の接合面に照射するようにする。また、レーザ光Lは溶着が必要な部分の総てに照射されるように、レーザ光Lを樹脂材1、2に対して走査するようにする。そして、このようにしてテーパー面3とテーパー面4の接合面にレーザ光Lを照射すると、レーザ光Lの吸収率の高い樹脂材2がレーザ光Lを吸収して発熱し、この発熱により、樹脂材1と樹脂材2の一方又は両方が溶融する。この後、樹脂の溶融部分を発熱により硬化したりあるいは降温により固化したりすることにより、図1(c)に示すように、溶着部10を形成する。そして、この溶着部10により樹脂材1と樹脂材2とを溶着することができるものである。溶着時のレーザの種類、使用周波数の範囲、強さの範囲などは、樹脂材1、2の種類や厚み等によって適宜設定可能であるが、レーザーパワーは約10〜30Wにすることができる。
Next, the laser beam L is irradiated to the joint surface between the
本発明では、テーパー面3、4を接合し、この接合面にレーザ光Lを照射して溶着するので、図2(a)に示すように、テーパー面3、4のレーザ光Lの照射される範囲(レーザ光径LDの範囲)のA点とB点とではレーザ照射装置LMからの距離が異なるため、レーザ光Lの焦点がずれるなどの照射条件がばらついても、A点とB点の間のいずれかの部分でレーザ光Lの照射条件が最適になって溶着できる可能性がある。すなわち、レーザ照射装置LMの光学系を介してレーザ光Lを照射する場合、焦点調整なども行っているが、樹脂材1、2の成型精度やレーザ光Lを集光するレンズが汚れるなどの様々な要因でレーザ光Lの入射方向(深さ方向)に焦点距離がことなることになる。図2(b)の従来例では、レーザ光Lの照射される範囲(レーザ光径LDの範囲)のA’点とB’点とではレーザ照射装置LMからの距離が一定であるため、焦点がずれると、A’点とB’点の間で溶着されないことがあり、溶着が不安定になるおそれがある。
In the present invention, since the
図3(a)(b)に他の実施の形態の一例を示す。この溶着方法では、一方の樹脂材1に嵌合凸部5を設けると共に他方の樹脂材2に嵌合凹部6を設け、嵌合凸部5と嵌合凹部6とを嵌合した状態で溶着するものである。断面形状において嵌合凸部5は二つのテーパー面3、3により先端面(凸面)が形成されている。また、断面形状において嵌合凹部6は二つのテーパー面4、4により底面(凹面)が形成されている。嵌合凸部5と嵌合凹部6とを嵌合すると、テーパー面3とテーパー面4とが一つずつほとんど隙間なく密着するか、隙間があいていても略平行に対向するものである。図3(a)に示すように、透光率の高い樹脂材2の下面に嵌合凹部6を形成すると共に吸収率の高い樹脂材1の上面に嵌合凸部5を形成することができ、逆に、図3(b)に示すように、透光率の高い樹脂材2の下面に嵌合凸部5を形成すると共に吸収率の高い樹脂材1の上面に嵌合凹部6を形成することができる。テーパー面3、3の間の角度α及びテーパー面4、4の間の角度βは、α>βでα+β=360°となる範囲であれば、αとβを任意に設定することができるが、例えば、α=240〜300°、β=60〜120°とするのが好ましい。

図4(a)(b)に他の実施の形態の一例を示す。この溶着方法では、一方の樹脂材2に嵌合凸部5を設けると共に他方の樹脂材1に嵌合凹部6を設け、嵌合凸部5と嵌合凹部6とを嵌合した状態で溶着するものであるが、断面形状において嵌合凸部5のテーパー面3である先端面が凸の円弧状面として形成されていると共に、嵌合凹部6のテーパー面4である底面が凹の円弧状面として形成されている。嵌合凸部5と嵌合凹部6とを嵌合すると、テーパー面3とテーパー面4とがほとんど隙間なく密着するか、隙間があいていても略平行に対向するものである。図4(a)に示すように、透光率の高い樹脂材2の下面に嵌合凹部6を形成すると共に吸収率の高い樹脂材1の上面に嵌合凸部5を形成することができ、逆に、図4(b)に示すように、透光率の高い樹脂材2の下面に嵌合凸部5を形成すると共に吸収率の高い樹脂材1の上面に嵌合凹部6を形成することができる。テーパー面3及テーパー面4の曲率半径Rは無限大(∞)未満、好ましくは、R200〜1000mmとすることができる。

本発明において、溶着時にテーパー面3、4を加圧して密着させるのが好ましく、これにより、テーパー面3、4を強固に溶着することができる。この場合、例えば、ワーク(樹脂材1、2を接合した物)の上にガラス板等の透明板を配し、ワークの下側と透明板の上側をプレス機等で挟み込むようにして加圧させることができる。また、テーパー面3、4での圧力を例えば200〜500kPaとすることができる。
